I don't think it's a question of them like staying a generation behind in tech. Gamecube was cheaper than PS2 but more powerful. I think it is more a case of them not making people pay for tech that is not necessary at the time or the market is not ready for. That is why Wii is not HD because the number of people with HD TVs at launch did not justify the jump in cost. At the start of next gen HD TVs will be quite common and much more affordable to put in a console so you can bet the next Wii will be HD. Likewise they were not interested in online last gen because broad band was non existent at the time of Gamecube's launch. Now dial up is almost unheard of, the world is ready for online gaming and the result is both Wii and DS can connect wirelessly.
